Description
Mini Farming describes a holistic approach to small-area farming that will show you how to produce 85 percent of an average family’s food on just a quarter acre-and earn in cash annually while spending less than half the time that an ordinary job would require. Even if you have never been a farmer or a gardener, this book covers everything you need to know to get started:
Buying and saving seeds
Starting seedlings
Establishing raised beds
Soil fertility practices
Composting
Dealing with pest and disease problems
Crop rotation
Selling your produce arm planning and much more
Because self-sufficiency is the objective, subjects such as raising backyard chickens and home canning are also covered along with numerous methods for keeping costs down and production high. Materials, tools and techniques are detailed with photographs, tables, diagrams and illustrations.
